A rather amusing incident, which served to show that zeal may sometimes outrun discretion occurred in Napier, says the “Hawke’s Bay Herald.” A photographer was taking a flashlight photograph of the interior of a toilet saloon. in which a group of ladies was assembled. A constable, seeing the flash of the calcium light as it flared up,- evidently thought the building was on fire, and broke in the glass door to investigate. His surprise at seeing what was happening. and the consternation of those inside. who probably pictured a burglarious entry, may both be better imagined than described.
